I have told my Louisiana politics story, haven't I?
Not when I've been around. <puts chin in hand and looks attentive>
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, they didn't boot me overnight, which is good for them, because I'm actually getting work done right now.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
We get sent home every year at 2 pm, but no one ever tells us until 2 pm, when they send out an email saying "If your work is finished, the Dean says you can go home."
Each year, though, there is a chance that no one will send us home!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not when I've been around.
Not terribly personal. My time in NOLA included the '83 governor's race, in which the main candidates were Edwin Edwards and David Treen. Edwards was a Democratic ex-governor (kept out of the last election by a term limits law), immensely charming and equally immensely sleazy. Treen was the Republican governor, the first one in the state since Reconstruction.
Treen's slogan was, "An Honest Governor. For A Change." Nobody was fooled by the period in the middle of the sentence. Everybody agreed that Treen was honest, and that Edwards was not.
And Edwards won the election with over 60% of the vote.
